Highly motivated instructors, they raise the bar. The instructors take their roles very seriously. Classes offered for children and adults at all levels. It’s more than just karate and exercise. Aspects such as discipline, confidence , changes in behavior, respect is part of the teaching they provide(intentional or not).I highly recommend this location, you will not be disappointed.

My children have been attending classes at ckd for some time now. Both sensei's have great communication and clearly explain their expectations before enrolling in classes and even when switching classes. They are great with children of all ages. I highly recommend this martial arts academy.

I have two boys (ages 7 and 5) that go to this dojo and they both absolutely love it! Sensei Heather and Sensei Travis communicate to the kids in a way that instills respect but also allows them to have fun and move, which my boys have responded very well to. I will continue taking my kids here for as long as they want to go.
